Energy Saving Ideas

• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.

• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.

• Freezer shelves and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.

• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible.

Some upright freezers are frosbfree and defrost automatically, butshould be cleaned occasionally.

Between Defrostings

To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic scraper to remove frost.

Scrape with a pulling motion. Never use a metal instrument to remove frost.

Defrosting

It isimportant to defrost and clean freezer when 1/4to Y_inch of frost hasaccumulated.

Frost may tend to accumulate faster on upper part of the freezer due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door is opened. Remove food and leave the door open when defrosting the freezer.

• On upright models with a defrost drain (Figure 1), remove dra in plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out. To access external drain tube on models with a base panel, first remove the two screws from the base panel. Locate the drain tube near the left center under the freezer. Place a shallow pan under the drain tube. Defrost water will drain out. Check pan occasionally so water does not overflow. A _/_inch garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer directly into a floor drain. If your model is not equipped with an adapter, one can be purchased at most hardware stores. Replace the drain plug when defrosting and cleaning are completed.

If the drain is left open, warm air may enter freezer.

• On chest models with a defrost drain, place a shallow pan or the Divider/Drain

Pan (some models) beneath the drain outlet (Figure 2). A _/_inch garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer directly into a floor drain (Figure 3). If your model is not equipped with an adapter, one can be purchased at most hardware stores. Pullout the drain plug inside the freezer, and pull off the outside defrost drain plug (Figure 4). Defrost water will drain out. Check pan occasionally so water does not overflow. Replace the drain plugs when defrosting is completed.
